1. Before installing lter, check operating temperature and
pressure conditions to verify that they are within the specied
ranges. (See Operating Conditions on page 1). Also verify
that system ow rate corresponds to the rated capacity of
the lter. Operating at ows above rated capacity will result
in increased pressure drop.
2. Locate Filter at the point of lowest operating temperature to
ensure that water and oil vapor do not condense downstream
of the lter. Filter should be installed close to the point of
use to minimize the risk of pipe scale, dirt, etc. recontaminat-
ing the compressed air. This is particularly important when
installing a new lter on an existing system that has not had
proper ltration.
3. Protect lter from reverse ow conditions. Do not install lter
downstream of quick opening valves.
4. Install lter vertically. Provide required minimum clearance
below lter to allow for replacement of element.
(See Element Removal Clearance on page 2).
5. Remove lter head from the bowl by turning bowl counter-
clockwise. Pull element from lter head. Set bowl and
element aside for use later.
INSTALLATION
6. Install inlet and outlet shutoff valves to facilitate replace-
ment of element. Bypass piping is recommended. (See Fig-
ure 1A). MAKE SURE VALVES ARE CLOSED BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
7. Depressurize piping and connect lter head into piping. Avoid
reducers or bushings to match inlet size. The resulting restric-
tion will increase pressure drop. Make sure head is installed
with ow arrows pointing in proper direction. Use pipe thread
compound as required.
If multiple lters are being installed in series, use pipe nipples
to connect lters, do not attempt to bolt lters together.
8. Install element by pushing into lter head.
IMPORTANT
INSTALL FILTER HEAD WITH ARROWS POINTING
IN THE PROPER DIRECTION TO ENSURE PROPER
OPERATION. (SEE FIGURE 1A).
